1. Before installing lter, check operating temperature and
pressure conditions to verify that they are within the specied
ranges. (See Operating Conditions on page 1). Also verify
that system ow rate corresponds to the rated capacity of
the lter. Operating at ows above rated capacity will result
in increased pressure drop.
2. Locate Filter at the point of lowest operating temperature to
ensure that water and oil vapor do not condense downstream
of the lter. Filter should be installed close to the point of
use to minimize the risk of pipe scale, dirt, etc. recontaminat-
ing the compressed air. This is particularly important when
installing a new lter on an existing system that has not had
proper ltration.
3. Protect lter from reverse ow conditions. Do not install lter
downstream of quick opening valves.
4. Install lter vertically. Provide required minimum clearance
below lter to allow for replacement of element.
(See Element Removal Clearance on page 2).
5. Remove lter head from the bowl by turning bowl counter-
clockwise. Pull element from lter head. Set bowl and
element aside for use later.
INSTALLATION
6. Install inlet and outlet shutoff valves to facilitate replace-
ment of element. Bypass piping is recommended. (See Fig-
ure 1A). MAKE SURE VALVES ARE CLOSED BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
7. Depressurize piping and connect lter head into piping. Avoid
reducers or bushings to match inlet size. The resulting restric-
tion will increase pressure drop. Make sure head is installed
with ow arrows pointing in proper direction. Use pipe thread
compound as required.
If multiple lters are being installed in series, use pipe nipples
to connect lters, do not attempt to bolt lters together.
8. Install element by pushing into lter head.
IMPORTANT
INSTALL FILTER HEAD WITH ARROWS POINTING
IN THE PROPER DIRECTION TO ENSURE PROPER
OPERATION. (SEE FIGURE 1A).
